Do you know that all the animals which live around us have their origin from the wild?There are wild dogs in form of wolves,coyotes,foxes etc.There are wild birds,cats,even snails.

Originally,the ones living with us have been domesticated,hence their most often passive nature.Even though at times they show their other nature most often when their patience had been tried beyond limit.

I was watching Natgeo wild sometimes ago and was surprised to see how cruell the other animals,which bear same look with our domestic animals are.

I saw the other sides of the gentle dove,the brutish part of of the calm donkey,the aggressive part of wild cat and even the defensive side of the slow snails!

I was completely surprised at the wild display by all these wild counterparts.No wonder they are called wild animals.I could imagined myself having no knowledge of how it was in the wild,therefore playing with a cat I see in the wild with the understanding I have about them at home what a jeopardy!

What made those animals at home humble,playful and loyal to their owners and those at the bush wild and cruel?It is simple.The care,attention and provision giving to them at home actually,in a gradual process,decimated their power,anger and viciousness.They gave birth to their young ones within the care and attention of those who rear them and see no reason to be cruel except when tried beyond limit.

The animals in the wild were born into danger.They live in the dangerous zones.Their daily lives are fill with running,fighting,struggling and scheming for survival.The next animal,to them is either a prey or a predator.Hence they grew thick skins to love and affection,trust and care and are living with the watchword,'No paddy for jungle'.

Of course,we have men with the same nature around us too.Whom have been tossed here and there by the Ill wind of this world.They have been battered and chattered by people they met while growing up,hence they are brutal and dangerous to deal with in every aspect of association.They see others as either their prey or predators.We either read about them or come in contact with them once in a while.

What these people lack are love,parental cares,communal concerns,religions positive impacts and the society reasonable inputs.Do I need to explain all these?Certainly not! A love we show today to those little ones goes a long way to show that we care about their formation.

Do your bit,let me do mine,by and by,we will make the family, the community and by extension the nation habitable places.

I really doubt if you have philosophically given justice to the question you raised.

If this post get to fp, I will give a reply to your question.

Like you said, they are either prey or predators depending on the circumstances

They hunt or get hunted for food even by theirselves

It's their natural nature, we have wild humans too

Let love lead!
